The Comfort Zone and Other Safe Spaces

I need to stop reading this author over my lunch, his stuff is not particularly graphic or gross (compared to other stuff I read at least) and yet the moment I sit down with food, I'll read something foul.

I really enjoyed The Vegetarians (that progression, that ending, chef's kiss) and Physical Media (horror comedy about a smart TV). The imagery was generally pretty solid. The first 5 stories in the collection were all really strong and would recommend this collection even if it was just for these.

There's also a couple of stories I didn't particularly like such as the one where the child main character read more like a teenager than like the 6 year old he was supposed to be (which was too bad because the idea behind the story was really cool) and the 2 stories that were more on the bizzarro side (though for these 2 I think it was more because I wasn't in the right headspace to enjoy them).
